Fleetwood Mac fans have a reason to celebrate as the legendary rock band announces the release of a new live album, Mirage Tour ’82. This exciting collection captures the essence of Fleetwood Mac’s iconic 1982 tour, showcasing their performances at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Slated for release on September 20, the album will be available in multiple formats, including 3xLP, 2xCD, and digital downloads, via Rhino Records.
The Mirage Tour ’82 album brings together 22 electrifying recordings from two memorable nights, October 21 and 22, 1982. Notably, it features six previously unreleased tracks from the first night, offering fans a rare glimpse into the band’s live energy during this pivotal era. Among these newly revealed gems are live renditions of beloved classics such as “Landslide,” “Don’t Stop,” and “Never Going Back Again,” each showcasing Fleetwood Mac’s timeless sound and captivating stage presence.
This release is particularly special as it marks one of the last tours with guitarist and vocalist Lindsey Buckingham before his initial departure from the band. The tour itself was in support of their 13th studio album, Mirage, which demonstrated the band’s evolving musical direction and solidified their status as rock icons.
In recent years, Fleetwood Mac has revisited their rich live performance history, including last year’s release of a live album from their 1977 tour supporting the legendary Rumours album. Mirage Tour ’82 continues this tradition, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to experience the band’s dynamic performances from a defining period in their career.
With its mix of fan favorites and rare tracks, Mirage Tour ’82 is set to be a must-have for any Fleetwood Mac enthusiast. Whether you’re revisiting the nostalgia of the early ’80s or discovering the band’s legacy for the first time, this album captures the magic of Fleetwood Mac live on stage.
